    I'll post again in another month or two.

    Ok, it's been a little more than a month or two.

    I enjoyed a full recovery doing those heavy-loaded eccentric heel lowering exercises for my achilles. Eccentrics are now standard of care in sports medicine tendon injuries per my sports med buddies. Now 53, I find myself working through a series of
    other injuries, which does include renewed Achilles troubles. But I'd say I enjoyed 6 injury-free years thanks to the advice here! Thanks!

    I think I must have picked my parents well. I’ve enjoyed injury-free
    running for many years, despite my best attempts to abuse my legs. ;-)
